This may have been talking about to asked before, heck I might even have been the one to ask it,
but has any ever done a silicone tail using fabric for the fins?
like sheer fabric for the side, dorsal, or pectoral fin?
I think I remember seeing someone doing something similar in a photoshoot or something
and my old fishbutt's tail has fabric fins on it cause I was going for a Pirates of The Caribbean look
but has anyone else done or thought of doing it
how plausible would it be to buy a silicone tail and add your own fabric fins to it?

I've attached silicone to knit fabric with sil poxy, I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fabrics, my fluke is attached to my tail that way, so it does put weight on it and it hasn't disattached yet, I would also try to do tests with caulking because that stuff bonds to almost everything, that's what it's made for, definitely don't try to sew the fins on, that'll be a disaster.

Thank you, Lili.
I'm currently saving up for a mertailor spellbound tail or considering getting another merrowfins tail and i was thinking of just adding my own fins for a flowly look
